"Nondestructive testing of space vehicle liquid propellant rocket engines."
Presented at the Western Metals Congress, Los Angeles, California, 15 March 1967.; Archive copy is a photocopy.; ABSTRACT: This report describes the various nondestructive test methods employed to evaluate materials and processes used in the manufacture of large liquid propellant rocket engines at the Rocketdyne Division of North American Aviation, Inc. The contents of the paper were purposely oriented for an audience of aerospace, design and materials engineers. A brief description of liquid propellant rocket engine reliability is presented. The relationship of standards and specifications to nondestructive testing is discussed and various test methods are described along with a discussion of their applications and limitations. The sequence of events leading up to the use of nondestructive testing in production inspection is presented. Finally, the organization of labor directly related to nondestructive testing is given. -
"Noise reduction study in a scaled model acoustic test facility."
The acoustic properties of five insulation materials were investigated in a 1/10- scale model acoustic facility. The materials were designed for applications in space vehicles. The model facility, consisting of a reverberation chamber coupled to an anechoic chamber, was evaluated for its use in noise reduction testing. It was found that a reasonably diffuse sound field existed above 900 Hertz. Modal density graphs of the reverberation chamber and spatial acoustic gradients measured within the chamber and across the test panel opening are compared to an idealized facility.; Prepared for the 75th Meeting of the Acoustical Society of America,Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. May 21 - 24, 1968. -

"Apollo/Saturn consolidated instrumentation plan for AS-204/LM-1."
This report represents the consolidated instrumentation plan for employing optical and electronic data acquisition systems to monitor the performance and trajectory of the Apollo/Saturn 1B vehicle, AS-2 04/LM-1, during powered flight. Telemetry and electronic tracking equipment on board the vehicle, and data acquisition systems monitoring the flight are discussed. Flight safety instrumentation and vehicle data transmission are described, and geophysical information is provided. This plan reflects the general instrumentation coverage requirements set forth in the NASA Program Support Requirements Document (PSRD) for Apollo/Saturn 16, and the commitments of Eastern Test Range (ETR) Operations Directive (OD) No. 4206,dated 15 August 1967. This plan is not intended to conflict with or to supersede either document. The information presented in this document reflects planning concepts developed prior to October 1, 1967. -

"Payload integration for space experimentation."
Space experimentation requires an increasingly complex planning and systems engineering effort to meet the demand for highest precision and reliability of all measurements and observations. A companion paper discusses the interfaces between the scientific/technical areas of space experimentation and the instruments, subsystems and support systems within the spacecraft. This paper deals with the organization and the procedures which are needed to perform the difficult payload integration process for space experimentation. In the course of this process it is necessary to define the experiments completely, to describe all instruments in terms of engineering specifications, to investigate the commonality of equipment, to group the experiments into mission compatible payloads, to specify acceptable loads on all subsystems and astronauts (when present) and to plan for all contingencies during the flight. -

"A Program plan for earth orbital space astronomy."
Manned space flight offers the opportunity to couple the astronaut/scientist's ability to select and process data and to calibrate, modify and repair instruments with the vantage point for astronomical observations provided by a platform located above the Earth's atmosphere. This paper briefly examines the role which manned space flight may play in the 1970-1990 time period in meeting astronomy research needs. The instruments and facilities which appear feasible for that period are described.; Paper presented by J. R. Olivier, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, George C.
